What's the best /easiest seat option to fit to a Griff, out of the Tuscan & Cerbera seat?

[budd]

I would think RS turbo/cossy Recaro's should be a good fit, getting a used pair and having them recovered should be cheaper that Cerb/Tuscan seats

Cerbera will fit without any mods as i was told

I've got Tuscans in mine - floor plate added and redrilled by Topcats - they are great!

Got Cerbera seats in mine, straight swap. Second hand from breakers for £350 then £700 to have them recovered.

Sparco Off Road's under £400 a pair, ali plate underneath £500 for a retrim.

Of the various options suggested in this thread, have any of you also got the factory roll bar ? I can’t quite make out in your picture Starmist, but the seat looks quite tight against the roof. How much clearance is there above and to the side

[k77-widow maker]

surely that could be adjusted to bring the back of the seat more forward away from the bar, by fitting spacers where the back of the seat bolts down??

If you do fit the Cerbera seat, whats the difference between the early and later models seats...been offered some early models cheap thats all.

Also what's the cerb seat like if you have the roof on, and say need to wear a helmet. Are they as high as the Griff seat, so being 6'2" I need to have my head at 45 degrees when I wear a helmet on a wet trackday.

I like the idea of the removable cushion from the seat..tuscan style

Not my car, Steve, but there is a roll bar in there, and yes, you could position the seats further forward, and jack the back up with spacers, depends on your stature.

I'm 6'2" and drop a set of Cerb seats straight into the griff. A huge improvement but raises seating height by about an inch and a half. Net result is that you cannot wear a lid with the lid.

do you have the early or later style seats?

[Horse_Apple]

There's a question.

Wot's the diff? I suspect they are the older but not sure.

[Nano2nd]

these are the new sort

I've had my seats converted… they are now Roman Catholic…
